"He held aloft the mighty sword..."

SNIPER was bored. So what if monsters had begun attacking the city again? There was nothing he could do about it. If those other stupid idiots he sometimes called his friends wanted to try to stop them, let them. He didn't want to go looking for any stupid sword.

__________

"So where the hell has SNIPER gone now?" asked Your Honour, turning to the other members of the party.

Grix shrugged, there were much bigger things to worry about than the whereabouts of SNIPER.
Ant however had seen SNIPER disappear, so decided to speak up "Well, he said we were a bunch of stupid morons trying to find this sword, and went off that way." Ant pointed towards a meadow.

"Well if he doesn't care about our homes being destroyed and us being enslaved then so be it. I do, and I vow to find the Sword of Nogard, and slay those foul beasts that attack our homes!" Cried Your Honour, and the three of them set off into the forest.

___________

SNIPER continued to wander through the meadow, it was a beautiful day, the suns were bright and the sky clear. Walking through the waist high grass amongst the butterfly was something that always helped to cheer SNIPER up. Maybe he should catch up with his friends he thought, and he too headed for the forest.

pb marched up to FantasyMeister. "You can't keep sending our men out to die! We only have limited resources, and cannot fight them out there in the fields!"

"Then what would you suggest pb, letting those beasts inside our city walls, letting them slaughter our wives and feed on our children?" Replied FM looking down on pb.

"But we cannot hold out forever. We need help!" said pb shaking his head, as he walked away.

SNIPER's mood had again changed for the worse. Where were those stupid idiots now? SNIPER looked round to see something catching the light in a clearing nearby. Maybe it was his friends! He ran into the clearing.

Moments later he realised that it was not his friends in the clearing, but something much more special. Stuck in the ground was a sword. The sword of Nogard! As SNIPER approached it he suddenly felt a chill in the air. The skies had clouded over, and the wind had picked up to such an extent that the trees creaked. If SNIPER could retrieve the sword, he would be a hero! No more would he be laughed at!

SNIPER grabbed the sword and pulled with all of his might. He could feel the first drops of a violent rain storm lash against his face. Still he pulled on the sword, until it gave up it's hold on the ground. SNIPER could feel great power within him as he held it.

He held it toward the skies as a sign of victory.

Grix didn't like this change in the weather. Not one bit. Why had it changed so suddenly? He could feel something strange in the air. "That way!" He cried, pointing towards a clearing nearby as thunder crashed in his ears and lightning lit up the skies.

_____________

"Aaaarghhhh!" Cried SNIPER as he was thrown to the ground. A lightning bolt had struck the sword and flowed through his body.

_____________

Your Honour was the first into the clearing. "It's SNIPER" he said, "Or at least it was...." he said, looking at the charred remains of his former companion.

"It looks as if we weren't the first at the scene" Said Ant, pointing towards some footprints leading out of the clearing. Next to these was a strange track, much like that that would be left be a sword, being dragged through grass........

"How the hell did we get here anyway?" asked Ant looking around at the strange scenery.

Meka looked sheepish. "um." he said. "It may be my fault. I tried a spell that would send us into the future and it seems to have sent us to an alternative reality."

They heard raised voices from around the corner and cautiously peered from behind a tree. In front of them was a large building with 5-6 people standing outside, bickering. Grix noticed that most of them strangely resembled the group around him and, yes, him too.

"This is too weird, Meka, send us back." he said in a commanding voice.

"Ok." said Meka and waved his hands in a Sooty style motion before shouting the magic words "Izzy Wizzy let's get busy."

Grix looked around from the SR car park where the gang were gathered. "Did you just hear something?" he asked er-no.

"No." said er-no, shrugging and they continued their attempts at entering the building.

-----

Pb and FM, for fear of being left out of the story altogether, lit a fire and sat down to eat.

er-no<----No limbs.

But keep away, he'll bite your legs off.

er-no<------not dead

It took six days to get to Bethesda. By this time, most people had already forgotten why they were going there in the first place...

Perhaps the sword would just be lying on the ground to be picked up...

But the story couldn't end like that. Be a bit silly, really.

The gang shuffled up the hill, and peered over the grassland... and saw...

A car park. Roads covered the land.

"What? Where's the town gone?" Ant asked...

They had to jump out of the way, as a car nearly ran them over...

A fat man wearing a string vest shouted from his car... "LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING!"

Meka ran to the car. "Excuse me, can you help us find something?"

"What? Looking for a fancy dress party?" The man asked...

Meka looked at his clothes... He was wearing an old dark cloak, and was holding a staff in one hand.

"What is this mystical beast you have tamed anyway?" Meka asked the unshaved one.

"Very funny. Now **** off, I'm hungry, and McBreakfast will stop being served in thirty minutes."

Meka jumped back as the car screached off into the distance...

"Where the hell is the town?" Ant said, he felt the road with his hands. "What's happened here?"

Grix thought for a moment... "I think Grix is trying to ressurrect the plot."

"Ah." Meka said, "That would explain a lot."

But then sighs, as he notices he has no limbs.

er-no still smiles at not being dead.

Was it Friday yet? Who knew... oh yeah, wrong story.

The party, now with nothing better to do than play cards, were getting extremely bored.

Ant was playing patience. But he was stuck...

"I can't go any further." Ant said... Meka came over to help.

Meka turned over a card.

"Ah! Thanks!" Ant said.

Meka rejoined the discussion with the more intelligent members of the party.

"Meka, you really haven't been as useful as we had hoped."

"Hmmm... haven't we already gone through this?"

"Yeah, but I thought it was worth mentioning again."

Meka tried to defend himself. "You've given me nothing to do! How can I help you if you tell me not what you want!"

"Ok," Grix asked. "Where's the sword?"

"I TOLD YOU! Bethesda!"

"...Did you say that?"

"YES! I told you ages ago! And I said that I have been casting spells to help us!"

"Sorry..." Grix muttered. "I wasn't paying attention. Ok. Shall we go to try and break into this castle then?"

"I don't mean to be rude..." Dan said. "But aren't we already trying to break in somewhere in another story?"

"Damn."

"POP" shouted Tarrant. This helped him think. Before long another evil scheme would materialise!

Ant woke up in a sweat!

He was having nightmares about that Starwars story.

He wondered why.

Darth Sheepy stood in all his excellence looking down on the weak Ant

He had battled with him many a time without a proper victory and it was harming his confidence being evenly matched by an Ant......

He drew his lightsabre and attacked Ant.....he missed and missed and eventually gave up and stood on it....

He thought to himself why did I not do that before? and in missing the Ant so many times had destroyed the Death Star and was standing in space.....

Eventually his Oxygen ran out and the two characters had both dies in very unproud ways!
